The invention relates to event furniture comprising at least one table and/or at least one chair as an event furniture component (), wherein at least one table (), a table part () of the at least one table (), the at least one chair (), and/or a combination of the above-mentioned event furniture components have means for carrying out an individual machine-controlled movement.

Event furniture

The invention relates to an event system () for an animated event, wherein the event system () comprises: at least one event furniture component () which can be moved in space and which comprises at least one table and/or at least one chair, and a device for sensory stimulation () of guests () of the animated event, wherein the event furniture component () which can be moved in space comprises movement means for mechanical movement, and wherein the event system () also comprises a first controller () which is designed to control the mechanical movement and the output of the device () for sensory stimulation of guests () of the animated event in a synchronized manner. The invention also relates to a method for operating such an event system ().

Event system

The present application relates to a device for moving back and forth a guide track section of a guide track system for vehicles of a fun fair ride from a first guide track connection part to a second guide track connection part which is arranged at a distance from the first guide track connection part, wherein the first and the second guide track connection parts are part of the guide track system, comprising a guide track section onto which at least one of the vehicles can travel, a carrier structure for carrying the guide track section, a guide structure which has an active connection with the carrier construction and with which the carrier structure can be guided in such a manner that the guide track section can be moved back and forth from the first guide track connection part to the second guide track connection part along the guide structure, and a drive device for moving the carrier structure along the guide structure, wherein the carrier structure comprises means for making another movement of the guide track section in addition to the movement along the guide structure.

A locking device for an axle includes a carrier for an axle, a cylinder for a fluid, having a cylinder wall, and a piston which is located inside the cylinder and is sealed against the cylinder wall at least in sections or at certain points, so that the interior of the cylinder is subdivided into a first volume and a second volume separated from the first volume by the piston, and also comprising a mechanical connection between the piston on one side and the carrier for the axle or the axle itself on the other, so that the position of the piston in the cylinder determines the orientation of the carrier for the axle or the orientation of the axle itself, and vice versa, wherein the first volume is connected to the second volume via a line system which has a line segment in which a valve is arranged.

Locking device for an axle

The invention relates to an amusement park ride with a guide track which has a first pivot axis for the movable guidance of the guide track, wherein the guide track is retained in a movable manner along the first pivot axis by way of a first retaining means, wherein the first pivot axis is oriented in a first axial direction, perpendicular to the direction of the guide track on the first pivot axis, and can be moved perpendicularly to the first axial direction. According to the invention, the guide track has a second pivot axis for the movable guidance of the guide track, wherein the guide track is retained in a movable manner along the second pivot axis by way of a second retaining means, and the second pivot axis is oriented in a second axial direction, perpendicular to the direction of the guide track on the second pivot axis, and can be moved perpendicularly to the second axial direction.

Amusement park ride with movable track section

A track system for amusement rides with truss-like track elements, which consist of at least one three girder system and comprise, as the first and second girder elements, tracks extending alongside each other, and at least one other girder element, wherein a first stiffening plane is formed by means of the tracks and cross beams connecting the tracks, and second and third stiffening planes are formed in each case by means of one track and the transverse struts, connecting said track to the at least third girder element; and, in order to form the track sections, the cross beams and the transverse struts are arranged spaced apart.

The water amusement ride according to the invention has watercraft that are pulled through the body of water () on a traction cable (). These watercraft are composed of a frame (), pulled by the traction cable (), on which a float () having a platform () is rotatably supported and on the underside of which is provided with a blade wheel (). When the watercraft is moved through the body of water () in the direction of the arrow (A), the blade wheel () together with the float () are set in rotational motion by the resulting flow.

Water amusement ride

The invention relates to a rail-bound vehicle for an amusement park ride. The vehicle has an upper partwith vehicle seats, as well as a carriagewhose running wheelsand lateral wheelsrun on rail-tubes, as do its lift-off rollers. The upper partcan rotate freely around a vertical axisrelative to the carriage. A brake disk' made of a metallic material is provided on the underside of the upper part. Permanent magnetsconnected to the rail system are assigned to this brake disk&#x2032;. The brake disk, upon passing these permanent magnets, enters the latter's magnet field, with the result that the upper partof the vehicle is braked and set into rotational motion due to the continued linear movement of the carriage
